What did you spend your third transfer on?
I boosted my third transfer with my second transfer and spent in purchasing a piece of land worth 70000 KES because I am a widow and my brother in-laws grabbed my husbands piece of land because I gave birth to only female children.I also started fish business with an intention of getting sustainable source of income, to enable me support my family.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on Secondary school fee for my child (5,000 KES) and also increased my maize-roasting business(5,000 KES)
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment when I received my money I felt completely humbled since this to me was Divine provision from God to enable me as a widow to pay School fee for my child who could have otherwise been sent away from the classroom since at that time my business was limping and making almost no profits.Thank you.

My biggest hardship is lack of income. I used to do a small business of selling roasted maize but currently with no maize,it is a challenge to get money to fend for our needs.
What is the happiest part of your day?
My happiest time of the day is only when I'm able to get some work that can give me an income by the end of the day.
What does receiving this money mean to you?
I have so much happiness to be receiving this money because my dream to have my own house is finally answered.
